Alice Cooper has announced the release of his definitive autobiography, Devil On My Shoulder, due via Ebury Spotlight on 8 October 2026, alongside an intimate eight-date UK Q&A book tour. The memoir promises to pull back the curtain on one of rock’s most extraordinary careers, tracing six decades of music, mayhem and reinvention.

Alice Cooper will release his long-awaited definitive autobiography Devil on my Shoulder this autumn and embark on a supporting UK Q&A book tour.

Available to pre-order here for £25, Devil on my Shoulder is published on hardback by Ebury Spotlight on Thursday 8th October 2026.

Three days after it hits the shelves, Alice Cooper will then commence his Devil on My Shoulder speaking tour on Sunday 11th October at Cardiff New Theatre.

Alice’s eight-date jaunt also visits Cambridge Corn Exchange, London Palladium, Brighton Dome, Manchester Opera House, Stockton Globe and Glasgow Pavilion Theatre before concluding at Wolverhampton Civic Hall on Tuesday 20th October.

Billed as an ‘evening of unforgettable stories from The Godfather of Shock Rock’, the tour will feature an audience Q&A and a special guest moderator each night.

Tickets to Alice Cooper’s UK book tour go on sale RIGHT HERE at 10am on Friday 13th March. The ticket price includes a copy of Devil on my Shoulder.

Alice Cooper’s Devil on my Shoulder autobiography

A synopsis of Devil on my Shoulder reads:

‘There are two, seemingly irreconcilable, Alice Coopers – the murderous, morally corrupt theatrical character who threatened the moral fibre of the western world… and the man who plays him, a sober pastor’s son who has been happily married for 50 years. Along the way, the two became schizophrenically intertwined. And in a haze of pioneering rock n roll, alcohol, drugs, iconic songs and wild gigs, guillotines, slaughtered chickens, legendary friends, rumours, snakes, Ouija boards, surrealism, house fires and car crashes – they nearly killed each other.’

“Alice is still on tour around the world today, a proper senile delinquent playing hundreds of gigs every year, while I myself am reformed. And with the benefit of hindsight and a certain maturity, I’d like to describe our journey to Hell and back together, because it’s not only rock stars who can lose their way.”

‘In the Sixties and early Seventies, Alice Cooper was simply a rock group, but as their lead singer, Vincent Damon Furnier, developed his modern-day Grand Guignol character, Alice Cooper became his stage name. Then, on a wave of global success, he legally changed it to his own.’

“I was born Vincent Damon Furnier but, seduced by my character’s reputation, changed my name legally to Alice Cooper, and in the process lost sight of who I really was. The mild-mannered, all-American boy I’d once been became a monster and a mortal danger to himself.”

‘With a career spanning six decades, Alice’s story features witty, intimate anecdotes featuring Salvador Dalí, Bob Hope, John Lennon, Groucho Marx, Vincent Price, Frank Sinatra, Errol Flynn, Bette Davis, Jimi Hendrix, Gerald Ford, Andy Warhol, Tiger Woods, to name a few, but he’s also an acute observer of dysfunction and despair, wildness and criminality, urges and addictions, transgressions and human goodness. And so he tells his story from both perspectives: angel on one shoulder, devil on the other.’

“Me and Alice were getting creative with the truth long before the Age of Fake News. Now, after over thirty records and sixty-plus years of fibs and fabrications, I think it’s time to sort the truth from the rumours and lies.”

Don’t forget, Alice Cooper will also grace the UK in August for an eight-date tour with his Hollywood Vampires bandmates Johnny Depp, Joe Perry and Tommy Henriksen. Tickets are on sale from Planet Rock Tickets now.
